Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero depicts two men dining al fresco at an outdoor tavern in Manhattan. He paints the piece based on his studies of the Central Park Boathouse Restaurant, the only lakeside dining establishment in the city. The foliage in the outdoor bar area suggests that autumn is finally about to begin. Onelio captures the brilliant morning sunlight with a sensitive yet robust application of paint.
